£75,000

High Voltage Design Engineer (UK)

Location: Remote UK (North West base welcome)
Salary: Competitive (DOE - please enquire)
Contract: Permanent
Sector: Renewable energy / HV electrical design

Why this role

Remote-first, nationwide, with real ownership across design, bid and site work. You'll work closely with the Senior Technical Manager and have genuine influence over how projects are specified and delivered - not just drafting to someone else's brief.

About the role

EMBS is working with a UK renewable energy business expanding its in-house technical function.

What you'll do

  • Produce single-line diagrams, protection and grading schemes, cable calculations, earthing designs, switch room layouts and substation arrangements
  • Support bids and tender work with preliminary designs and ROI analysis
  • Review and challenge third-party design deliverables against DNO specifications, Grid Code and G99 / G100
  • Attend tender-stage site surveys and progress designs through to construction-ready packages

What we're looking for

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline
  • Proven HV design experience on solar PV, HV substations or large electrical infrastructure
  • Strong working knowledge of UK DNO processes, Grid Code, G99 and G100
  • Competent with ETAP (or equivalent) and AutoCAD / Draftsight
  • Able to deliver HV/LV cable calculations, protection and grading studies, load flow and short-circuit calculations
  • 18th Edition knowledge

Nice to have: Solar PV / BESS design experience, SolarEdge or string inverter familiarity, PVSyst / PV-SOL / IECO, plant controllers, reactive power systems, hybrid PV+BESS connections.

Note: UK sponsorship is not available for this role - applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
